Laravel Contact Form: How to Implement It, Validate Data, and Send Emails

A Laravel contact form can be built by creating a new project, defining a Blade view with name, email, and message fields, protecting submissions with Laravel’s CSRF directive, and registering GET and POST routes connected to a controller. The controller collects submitted values through the Request object or helper functions, validates them with rules for required fields, length, and valid email formatting, and can provide customized validation error messages. To deliver contact submissions by email, Laravel can be configured with Mailtrap’s SMTP credentials in the environment file, paired with a Mailable class and Blade email template, then invoked through Laravel’s Mail facade after successful validation. The tutorial also presents a Mailtrap API-based alternative for Laravel 9 and later using Mailtrap’s PHP SDK, custom mail transport settings, API credentials, a more configurable Mailable with headers, categories, variables, and attachments, and an Artisan command for sending a test email.
